Aparently the CPU may only be clocked to 800Mhz........
If you got this from the Au website, Whirlpool, than I think they are talking about the iPhone 4, not the Galaxy S
well it's from the galaxy s thread and one of the guy who's doing the testing and stuff for samsung says this......definitely not iphone.
Guess just wait and see when it's released I suppose
huh? wat are you guys talking about? its 1ghz cpu
forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?t=1409745&p=58#r1152 is the link to the post where the user suggests it is 800mhz underclocked.
Yh, sorry, was reading a thread where they were talking about the iPhone being underclocked, just reading more, it seems it may be the case.
Will mean battery last longer, not such a bad thing, as long as it doesn't effect any of the performance of the phone
If they say 1Ghz then it is 1Ghz or else they're going to have a lawsuit on their hands. Nothing in between(except of course scaling).
I have the galaxy s and im pretty sure its 1ghz.. at least system panel tells me its 1ghz but singapore set are all 16gb model.
information from system panel:
ARMv7 Processor rev 2 (v7I)
bogomips 797.90 (may vary)
min clock 100mhz
max clock 1000mhz
on Nexus one using pershoot kernel but cpuset at 245mhz - 998mhz, it shows:
ARMv7 processor rev 2 (v7I)
bogomips 662.40 (may vary)
min clock 245 mhz
max clock 998mhz
so maybe the 8gb are down clocked?
Doubt the 8Gb version would be clocked lower. Thanks for posting your findings!
It's just the power of forums and the internet, allowing mis-information to spread at the speed of light
lol yep, looks like he was confused at the sliding clock speed....
when i ran quandrant standard it read armv7 processor rev 2 , max 1000 min 100
set frequency 800
is that normal

It's 1 GHz, I checked the clock frequency with a monitoring application and it's dynamic but when required it clocks up to 1 GHz.

thanks for clearing this up

Wait, what?
The iPhone 4 may be clocked at 800mhz?
Can someone give source on this?

I don't have a link to that claim, but I think it was Gizmodo in their testing of the iPhone 4 and iPad noted the iPad did feel faster and the web browser rendered pages faster, despite both using the A4 processor. They hypothesised that it is the same architecture CPU in both, but different clock speeds.
After all, to get 10 hours out of the iPad the teardowns and x-ray scans show about 80% of the volume inside is all battery. If the iPhone 4 and iPad had the same processor, you'd think the iPhone's battery would be pretty bad considering the far smaller volume (although smaller screen not sucking as much power).
Wouldn't be surprising. After all, the Motorola Milestone / Droid has a mild underclock, as does the Acer Liquid to preserve battery life.
Probably cheaper for Apple to only have to manufacture 1 chip (the A4), but clock at different speeds appropriate to each device's battery life.
Apple doesn't focus as much on specs though, more that the user interface feels fast and smooth. If it achieves that purpose no need to worry about numbers, whereas since we have so much choice of handsets on Android specs do make a difference for us to know depending on our needs (eg: price vs performance vs battery).
My Samsung Galaxy S is running at 800mhz it sucks... i flashed it last night with the final build of 2.2 I9000XXjP6 for the Galaxy does anybody no how i can overclock it to 1ghz thanks People
The Galaxy S has a 1 GHz CPU. However, the clock speed is lowered while not needed to save battery life, just like on any modern PC. By default it is using the conservative governor.
The iPhone4 never was supposed to get a 1 GHz CPU. Apple never disclosed the number. But those who made benchmarks estimated the clock speed at about 800 MHz since is is about 20% slower than the iPad.
There is a Galaxy Lite version in some other countries that only maxes out at 800 Mhz
i think the guy reviewing the phone got it mixed up with that

He might have got mixed up, but the final 2.2 build for the Samsung Galaxy S is maxed out at 800 MHz for some stupid reason…. I’m going to flash it tonight again with a earlier build of 2.2 as I did some bench test and its only scoring a measly 900 points with the latest firmware installed.. Were as before it was scoring well over 2k…
Hi guys.
I wanna buy this huawei x5 u8800. But after a research in the net i find out that can be overclocked up to 1,8Ghz
Pls can anyone explain me, coz i really can't get it, how that extreme overclocking from 800Mhz to 1,8Ghz is working out.
Some of you can mark me or say i'm stupid. But i am surprised how big is the range of overclocking at that tiny biggy
Don't buy it if you want to use it at 1,8 GHz. Buy it, if you have low budget. It is a great device for that price. If i would be buying a phone now I would buy a Honor. It is basicly the same price.

Im pretty familiar with Android and this specific phone and I'm also amazed by it and don't quite understand it... I should research it first, but I'm guessing it's just a matter of increasing voltage available to the CPU, and allowing that in the kernel to translate in to higher CPU frequencies...
Manufacturers don't do that by default because they are looking for battery life and maximum stability. But I'm in 1.4ghz and it's pretty stable, above this is just useless, you won't notice any difference in system speed overall...

I have not low budget in that matter. Just thinking of second phone but don't wanna spend to much and 205 euro sound's like a deal to me. And when i saw that awsome overclocking for just a moment my heart stoped Thank's for the oppinions guys
So I bought Moto X Play. It's a nice phone and a good replacement for my Moto X (2013).
I installed CPU-Z and notice the the 8 cores are always active, even when the phone is just sitting there with the clocks at minimum. There is no cores disabled, ever. At least with the screen on.
Is this the normal behavior of the SoC?

I believe Motorola has some tweaking to do with the CPU Governor, which may explain why this is happening (I see it too). What's more is that the cores seem to hover around 800-900MHz when just staring at the CPU-Z screen and not doing anything.

On Lenovo Vibe Shot (Z90-7) with the same Snapdragon 615 i have the same situation.
Maybe it's worth asking people who owns some other phones with this cpu how does it behave in their phones?
According to Qualcomm's website those phones are Huawei P8 lite, Alcatel One Touch Idol 3, Oppo R5 and HTC Desire 820.
I'm curious about the behavior of the SD615.
When Motorola release the sources of the kernel, I hope that optimized kernels for this processor will arise with better management of the cores.
Hey
I was wondering if anyone was playing around with changing CPU speed. I noticed that 6P may not overheat but that's only because it throttles. I was wondering if shuting down two of its main cores would enable the other two run faster thus achieving better overall performance.
I was just wondering if apps actually use four cores? Or is it better to have two, faster ones.
You can use whatever combo you like really, but you'll need an editor [like kernel auditor] and root to do so.
I know I was just wondering if anyone actually did this and had any results to share. At the moment I'm almost convinced to do root so when I eventually do it I will try it out and share with the community.
I mean there's no real disadvantage, somewhere. You just cap your max performance, within reason.
Some people go with a hexacore setup and disable 2 of A57 cores and runs just fine...all about CPU task load.
Hi everyone, I have a question, is it normal that my cpu both A53 and A57 are clocked on 1.56 Ghz? On my Nexus 6P.I know that one of the is supposed to be clocked on 1.96Ghz.
I have android 7.1.2. no root, with april security patch.
I have a print screen from CPUZ app, but I can't share it because I'm new
Thanks,
Victor
Some apps don't' correctly BIG.little CPU and only report one speed.
Sounds like it's only reporting the lower frequency
Thanks for the answers, now it seems everything is ok.
